Nutritional IV Therapy at AIM

The key difference is absorption and bioavailability. When you take vitamins orally, they must pass through your digestive system, where absorption can be limited by factors like gut health, food interactions, and how well your body processes certain nutrients. Many people only absorb 20-50% of oral supplements. IV therapy bypasses the digestive system entirely, delivering nutrients directly into your bloodstream for 100% absorption. This means you get therapeutic doses that would be impossible to achieve through oral supplementation alone, with effects that are often felt more quickly and dramatically.

IV therapy prices range from $119 to $449, depending on the treatment type and tier level you choose. Nutritional IV therapy is not covered by insurance and is paid for by the patient at the time of service.

We offer three tiers of most treatments:
Tier 1 provides quick, powerful support (starting at $119-$199)
Tier 2 offers enhanced formulations ($179-$299)
Tier 3 delivers our most comprehensive blends ($249-$399)

Custom add-ons like Glutathione, NAD+, and Magnesium are also available with doctor approval.

IV therapy is generally very safe when administered by trained healthcare professionals like our naturopathic doctors. Most patients experience no side effects at all. However, some people may notice minor, temporary effects such as slight bruising at the insertion site, a cool sensation in the arm during infusion, or a mineral taste in the mouth (especially with high-dose vitamins). Rarely, patients might feel lightheaded or experience mild nausea, which typically resolves quickly. Our doctors carefully screen patients for any contraindications and monitor you throughout your session to ensure your safety and comfort.

To help patients maintain and build on their results, many choose ongoing maintenance treatments, similar to how you would continue exercising to preserve strength. At Alpine Integrated Medicine, this is supported through our Aesthetics Membership, which allows patients to continue Emsculpt NEO treatments on a monthly basis to maintain muscle tone, strength, and body contouring results.

Because BTL treatments stimulate real muscle growth and reduce fat cells in targeted areas, results are long-lasting when paired with consistency—much like a long-term fitness routine rather than a temporary solution.

Come well-hydrated (drink water beforehand) and eat a light meal or snack before your appointment—avoid coming on an empty stomach. Wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that can easily roll up past your elbow. Plan to relax during your session, so bring something to read or download entertainment on your phone if you’d like. After treatment, continue drinking plenty of water to help your body utilize the nutrients. Most people can return to normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding intense exercise for a few hours. Some people feel energized right away, while others notice benefits within 12-24 hours.

The frequency of IV therapy depends on your individual health goals, lifestyle, and current wellness needs. Many patients schedule treatments when they feel run down, before or after travel, during times of high stress, or when they sense they might be getting sick. Athletes often maintain regular treatments to support recovery and performance. During your consultation, your naturopathic doctor will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs—whether that’s weekly sessions, monthly maintenance, or as-needed support during demanding periods.

Each session lasts about 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. There is no downtime, so most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Completing the full treatment series is recommended to support optimal muscle development and body contouring results, with additional or maintenance sessions considered based on individual needs.
